Hill Fort Kesroli, Alwar- One of the many weekends!!!

It's a Neemrana Group property. A typical Non-Hotel Hotel, as they call it. I have been to this place 4-5 times till now. It's a 14th century fort converted into a Non-Hotel Hotel. It is said that it is India's one of the oldest buildings which is still livable. The place has not much to offer to the people who love to party, roam around or like lot of activities when they travel. For me it's one of the places where I connect with myself, where I love to sit on the roof of the fort doing nothing or love to read all day. The place has a certain kind of ambience that calls you back. Another thing that I like about the place is a 14th century temple constructed by the same King in a nearby village. You can take the cycle from the fort and cycle your way thru the green feilds. Early morning is the best to this as you can be part of the first aarti.

Lot of people I have met said that there is nothing much to do and no activities around but probably that's the only reason I go to this place!!!!

Road distance from Gurgaon to Kesroli is 140 Kms. Its a good drive all the way.

Thailand- I Wanna Be Back!!!

Someone once said , “Travelling is like flirting with life. It's like saying, I would stay and love you, but I have to go; this is my station.”

These were the thoughts in my mind when I was leaving Thailand after spending Nine Days in the Lap of Nature. It’s a Country where Natural Beauty is in abundance. The White Sandy Beaches, The Green Highlands, The Cool Waterfalls and The Vibrant Life forces you to stay back and never leave....

But As they say - Once the travel bug bites there is no known antidote, and I know that I shall be happily infected until the end of my life.

With winters setting in, it's perfect time to go explore the Bharat Pur Sanctuary also known as Keoladeo National Park. Let your kids and the kid in you come out and connect with nature.

Back To Basics!!!!

The best way to see the park is to either take a Rickshaw or hire a bike if you love cycling. I went to the park three times back to back and tried both the options. Some of the rickshaw walas have very good knowledge about the birds, better than the guides too. If you planning to take a rickshaw, I would definitely recommend Mr Pritam Singh. He has vast knowledge of birds and the park. With him around you don't even need a guide. He has even been featured in few international magazines too. All the rickshaws have been given a serial number and his Serial no is 1, no doubt he deserves it!!! You can call him and book him in advance. He will come to your hotel to pick you up. So there's no need to take your vehicle to the park. His contact number is +91 9660167389
